I really despise the usage of 'Argument' here in the title. It does not do the situation justice. As far as i'm aware this wasn't an Argument. it was entirely one sided. The perpetrator just walked up and started being homophobic before shooting him. It was a murder and to call it anything less is just being dishonest.

Today's game is some more Tomodachi Life. I've added a ton more Miis lately too. I added Hatsune Miku (who's in the screenshot above) who's been getting close to my friend's adopted daughter named Lamb (also in the screenshot above) from Minecraft (on a modded world that makes Villagers like sims. She's named Lamb because he intended to use her as a sacrificial "Lamb" for a magic mod but got attached). Lamb has been on a fast track to becoming friends with everyone surprisingly enough. She likes almost everyone she's met so far.

I also found a mod that adds Gay Marriage (or i guess it'd be more accurate to say it makes everyone bi), or at least that's what it claims, which saves me from having to go in with a save editor and change my Miis genders to respect my friend's sexuality. I still don't know if it actually works but it also changed the Compatibility tester to work for Same Gender so i'd have to assume it works for the actual marriage part.

I also added Uriel Septim from Oblivion after a friend made a Mii for him. He had a Dream (or for him i guess a prophecy) where he was falling through the sky doing spins and panicking. Maybe this is what he saw in his dreams before his assassination? It really

I also added Lego ObiWan. I haven't interacted with him much yet because he's fairly new but he had a dream where he was a bobblehead in a car. Oddly fitting for a lego.

I also found out my Mii hates white bread. I'm not sure why but he despises it. I fed him a slice and absolutely hated it. He's a lot pickier than i am irl. Like the only food he's liked is a Veggie Burger and Salisbury Steak.

I also added a Mii called Jeffery, who is a Marine in Halo 2 that we went through the entire level trying to keep alive while on legendary. After that he got a place in my friend group's 'Lore Book' we keep. He was in the news apparently for putting Mustard on everything and was arrested by my Friend and Max Payne.

Real Quick before i posted this, I opened the 3DS one more time before posting this too and Lamb decided to become friends with Uriel Septim too. It went really well and i'm suspecting they'll become best friends.

Damn. I remember when it came out. When I first heard about it I was in the living room playing Assassins Creed 3 and a YouTuber I was into at the time uploaded a let’s play. Time really flies

I’m using Emudeck on Bazzite with GNOME. It’s an entirely AMD based build.

I was mostly just able to install and go. There were two issues but they’re pretty minor and easy to fix:

  1. I had to go into the launch script for Xenia provided by Emudeck to change the proton version used though because it wasn’t compatible with the base version used. But that may have just been a me thing.

  2. Xenia has a weird quirk with Xbox Arcade games where you need to reopen and close the emulator too. It’s an intentional feature and I’m not really sure why it does that.

But besides those two things it works flawlessly. I have almost no bugs. I added it to Steam with Steam ROM Manager included with Emudeck and will launch it through that (or I’ll launch Minecraft, and then Xenia because of issue 2). Steam Input works fine and no tearing or graphical issues whatsoever.

Sometimes. I’m also a college student though with a ton of free time so it’s not like I don’t have the free time to play video games. Usually though when I play a game I take a ton of screenshots to just show friends, so I already have them. The tiring part usually comes from busy days like finals or when I’m out of the house all day

Today's game is some more Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. I finally managed to find diamonds after a decent amount of play time. Not only that but i found 5! 3 in a ore vein and two in a mineshaft chest. Immediately i used them to make a diamond pickaxe and then surfaced so i didn't lose them.

I ended up putting the portal in this shallow cave next to my home. I thought it'd give it a cool "ruins" kind of look along with keeping it decently far away from my home.

I immediately popped in to see if i can get some glowstone for my tunnel to light it with. While i wasn't able to reach any i did find out there was a Nether Fortress right next to the portal which will be super handy. I ended up sprinting back home though after i narrowly dodged a fireball from a ghast.

I also found a spawner in the minseshaft. I hope to use it to farm bones in some capacity to tame dogs. I've almost never made a vanilla mob grinder before so i want to try making my own from scratch. I think it would be fun.

Someone on the last post was asking if Splitscreen works on Xenia, so i decided to test it. I didn't test too long because it was just me, but it seemed to work perfectly fine on my rig. I'd assume the entire game was playable this way.

It did throw off my system's bluetooth card and caused some delay, but i suspect that's more from Linux having a stroke from having 3 Bluetooth devices connected at the same time instead of Xenia. The delay did keep scaring the shit out of me while mining though because i'd walk on a patch of dirt and by the time i was back on stone the dirt sounds would just start hitting. Gave me a heart attack thinking someone was behind me like some Herobrine creepypasta lol.

You'll also notice that the Minecraft logo is plastered at the top. For some reason when i first loaded in it bugged out and that got stuck. Opening and closing the world fixed it though.

I just finished testing it and It worked well. I'd assume you could play the entire game that way but I didn't test it too long (and the controller for player 1 just sat idle) because it was just me playing.

I ran my school's D&D club in Highschool. At one point my Grandma came along to watch me and my Siblings while my parents were out of the house for a month and when i told her that i'd need picked up later on certain days for D&D club, she went off on this long rant about how 'D&D is satanic' and then something about how 'Obama eats babies'. To this day i'm literally shocked she believes that junk.

Is this going to turn into our version of that dogelore or whatever it is that Reddit had?

When I can. It’s an important source and has helped me out a lot. Plus where would I be without my Wikipedia rabbit hole dives

I am emulating! I’ll test multiplayer tonight if I can track down another controller. It might interest you as well to know that I’ve heard the PS3 Emulator can do online multiplayer through its Netplay. I haven’t tested that yet (I want to with a friend though)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Nostalgia mostly lol. It’s the version I grew up with and there’s some vibe that the 360 version has that I can’t quite get with older versions of Java (it might just be a placebo though). That I play with controller and it has my favorite version of controller support yet.

Today's screenshot is some more Minecraft Xbo 360 edition. Last time i played i built a basic tunnel going through a hill. Today i decided to decorate it. I used jungle wood and cobblestone for the walls. I think i overdid it on the torches a little though.

I also lined the ceiling with Jungle wood planks after i realized the dirt looks a little off. It gives it a feel I like. Honestly i wasn't sure about using Jungle Planks for my Base, but i'm starting to really dig it. I kind of like it now. At some point once i get to the nether i'd like to use glowstone to line the ceiling instead of torches. I think it would look cooler.

Speaking of the nether, it's crazy how hard diamonds are to get in older versions. I have about 5-6 hours in this world and haven't found a single Diamond. I feel like the rates were upped in the newer versions

Before i logged off, My barrier of trees i planted on the hill too give it a grotto feel also sprouted. I've had a few problems with mobs spawning up there though, so i plan next time i play to go up there and coat the thing in torches. I was going to do it before getting off, but my controller had 5% left and i didn't have the charger on hand so i ended up stopping there before i was stranded without a controller.

Today's game is some more Oblivion Remaster. I started the Fighter's Guild questline today. As far as i know it's the last major guild questline i have to do. I checked the quest tree briefly and it seems a little more complex than the others, nothing too bad though. While doing the Rat quest i found Shadowmere outside making friends with the other horses. I say good on her. She could use some friends to do whatever it is evil daedric-like horses do with.

When i went down into the basement to save the Rats i ended up spending longer than i had expected down there just fawning over the rats. They're adorable and remind me so much of my own pet rat i used to have. I left them some snacks the last time i was down there.

While helping the Shopkeeper too one of the intruders tried to run away. I managed to chase him outside and he died in this satisfying pose. One of his friends inside just vanished after i killed them. The other one stayed though. I looted like 60 gold of them after i chased them around the Anvil Docks to figure out where they went.

That was where the Oblivion remaster lovingly decided to crash though. One of the last screenshots i took before the crash was of the Adorable Mojo in the Guild hall. I'll try again some more tomorrow to hopefully finish the questline as the quests don't seem like theyd take too long

Today's game is Tomodachi Life. My Wi-Fi was out, and i've spent like the last month trying to get Miis of Friends gathered so i could get them on the island. So i decided to put it all to use. To get the screenshots i had to do some stuff with FTP since my SD adapter was missing and Wi-Fi was out. Luckily it works over local internet though. I've been trying to avoid adding too many Miis though, as i don't want to fill out the apartment too fast. If any one has some Miis though that they'd like to share i'd love to add them though!

The news for today was that one of my friends spotted a Giant Flying Hashbrown. Amusingly this same friend is going for a Culinary Career, so it's almost like his own Potato-Flavored Northern Star. You chase that Hashbrown Buddy.

Outside of my Friend group i also added a few other people, such as Patrick Stewart. I grew up on Star Trek and he's always been a staple Mii to the point i have a QR code saved for the Mii.

He was having a dream where he was doing Push-Ups and ate a hot pepper to go faster. I wonder if this is what the real Patrick Steward dreams of.

I also added a Mii for Max Payne. I checked in on him a few times but he didn't really need anything. He just kind of stared at the wall ominously. I let him be because he seemed like he was sorting some stuff out.

One last Mii i wanted to share is Cool David. He's David, but cool. He's the guy on the far left in the picture. I made him to be the most 2000s 20 something year old ever. Listens to Coldplay, wears JNCOs, and still Uses CDs. I need to buy him some Cool clothes though to match his Cool vibe.

Honestly everyone needs some clothes. By the time i got the clothing store open everyone was asleep though so that's probably a later thing.

Today's game is some more of the Oblivion Remaster. I finished up the Mage's Guild Questline today. Despite that, ironically, everyone keeps referring to me as the Newest Hire. I think they missed the memo that i'm the new Archmage lol.

I met Traven for the first time. That one time i snuck into his bedroom for the Thieve's guild quest while he was sleeping doesn't count because i only got a look at his feet. I did steal a pair of pants from him though while i was in there. I couldn't find my favorite pair of jeans so i decided to inconvenience him too that day.

This guy, who's supposed to die from a pillar slamming up to kill him just didn't die. No clue why but i ended up having to rummage around without a quest marker to find the zombie.

When i went to kill Mannimarco i also got revenge for the first dungeon in Daggerfall and that damn bear shoved in the closet for some reason. My war on Bear-Kind is officially over (for now at least). I ended up killing poor Mannimarco with a charged attack before he could talk to me. I didn't think the game would let me but i got a really lucky sneak attack in. Surprisingly this guy went down in one strike. For how big of a threat he is he sure is a pushover.

Finally, i went to the Archmage's quarters and removed the Ring of Burden i've been carrying this entire time. I figured it was time to let it go and put it in a chest. I also discovered that the previous Archmage (who had a unsettling face btw) had an extensive alcohol collection. Which granted, if i had to deal with all the stuff these guys do i'd probably be an alcoholic too

Today's game is Fable 2. The Oblivion Soundtrack has recently put me in a mood to replay this, so i ripped my disk and launched it with Xenia. It runs pretty well for my System. It could absolutely be better, but overall for an experimental emulator it runs great.

One issue i have is the Main character is just a void. Completely Black. Apparently there's a patch for this, but it was late and i didn't feel like messing with patches when i saw Cheat Engine mentioned. Cheat engine and Linux have been a nightmare for me to figure out.

I have a lot of fond memories of this game. The first time i ever saw it was when my dad rented it through Gamefly when it was still big. He ended up buying it later and played through the whole thing, and i followed Suite. It's probably my favorite in the franchise next to 3 (i like it's whole vibe and the Sanctuary is such a unique idea that i don't really see done). Fable 1 i just cannot get into no matter how hard i try but i really like the game itself.

One thing the franchise does that i love is how the same locations are used decades later in the lore. It's so cool to see Bowerstone (the screenshot above overlooks the town), which was in all 3, throughout different eras of the worlds lore. My favorite of these is Wraithmarsh though, which is Oakvale from the first game. In fact, irc you can find ruins from the first game there. It gives the whole thing a creepy atmosphere knowing you've been there before and things are this messed up now.

The game had a problem with flickering, especially in the spot above. I saw a patch for it online so i might try and see if that will help. Like i mentioned earlier though, i need to mess with Xenia and Proton so i'll have to see. For a Early 360 Game it looks really pretty though. I wish it got a PC port like Fable 1 and 3. Maybe with the upcoming reboot we'll get something, but i'm not crossing my fingers to be honest.

Today's game is some more Minecraft Xbox 360 edition.

I built this bridge and a tunnel leading to the village today so i didn't have to keep climbing over the hills. I planted some trees up at the top of the hill in an improvised attempt to build a barrier around the little lake i built my base next too.

I was planting some torches under my base to keep mobs from spawning and i noticed the lighting on legacy console edition was different, or at least it feels different. It's almost smoother i feel like. It's even more obvious on the gates too. The nerd in me wonders what exactly causes the difference though. (If there is one and it's not a placebo)

I ended the day by taking my Poisonous potatoes down to the beach and just watching for a bit. I wanted to catch the sunset but didn't get a chance so instead i just hung out with the spider. Sadly my spider friend got blown up by a creeper.

Today's game is Fallout 76. Me and a Friend made plans to play this yesterday, he ended up cancelling though since it was late so i played a bit by myself. I didn't do much. I mainly stopped by to pick up a quest from the robot above, decorated my camp, and went exploring.

I gave my camp some wall decorations. Everything was really barren so i figured it would spruce things up a little and make it more vibrant. I could have sworn i had more decorations last time i played. But i guess not. I got this weird thing with the lighting where it all just simplified out and become very solid. It only seemed to persist at my base though. Once i headed out it fixed itself.

Right outside my base was this creepy ass thing. Apparently it's a radstag but i don't remember Radstags having fangs that could stab your eye out. I wonder if they changed the model at some point. Whatever it is though it's kind of sick, in a creepy cool kind of way. I kind of want a plush or figure of one or something.

I also stepped into my basement and decorated that too. I gave it some Snazzy bone wind chimes and reorganized everything a little bit. I moved the table a bit forward so the Entrance to the basement i added in the basement (it leads right back to the basement) had more room. The stairs to no where also got some more space by moving the wall forward a little bit.

The final thing i did was drop by the Winding Path, which is this cool Palace in the northern section of West Virginia. It's really chill and Serene there. I wish the game would let me build a base there tbh, because i love all the water it has going on.

Today's game is some more of Super Market Together. We ended up netting a 4th friend for it and threw an hour into it for fun. For a free game on steam it's surprisingly decent, especially with the lack of microtransactions and what seems to be a low budget. The game does have a weird quirk about figuring out prices that can make it a bit difficult, but we mostly optimized it with the formula MarketPrice * 2 - 0.01. That seems to rake in good money while still not being considered expensive by people.

As you can see in the screenshot above, i expanded my Water Shelf from being Scattered to having its own sign. My friends ended up giving up on stopping me. Now they let me spend the 60$ to get the water to restock my water shelf weekly, in return i stop letting the water spread to other shelves.\

We've started getting this big problem with people just bunching up near the freezer in a group. I'm assuming there's something absolutely fascinating about the Freezer just because of how many people gather there. Maybe it's something about the cheese? I'm not sure.

At one point i stepped outside to get a picture of the store (to use for the main screenshot, though i decided to use the Water Shelf instead). While i was picking some screenshots though i discovered that someone was actually shop lifting from my store. You can tell by the icon above their head. They got away with it, so good play i'd say. Neither me, nor my friends caught them.

I also found this hidden cat just chilling on a landing. We spotted it from the ground and exploited the games wonky physics to get up there and pet it. I ended up getting an achievement for petting it. This is the second cat i've seen so i'm assuming this game really loves it's cats.

Today's game is some more REPO. We spent a lot less time actually playing though and instead sat down on the couch while i explained the lore of Lord of The Rings to a friend that joined us. The Screenshot was taken from then. Of course, when we got to Saruman, we had to take a detour to then explain the Star Wars Prequel trilogy after we brought up Count Dooku. The entire level was basically spent doing just that. Lore dumping about Lord of The Rings and Star Wars. When i had to explain the Silmarillion we stopped there though.

At one point, we were in the Art Museum level. In it theres these stairs that are freakishly tall. While descending it my impulsive thought won and i hit another friend with a statue i was holding. I got to watch them tumble down the long flight of stairs.

Our run ended up being ended by this brat though, after he hit me with an object and shoved me into a robe. For people who haven't played this baby basically picks up objects and chucks them. Sometimes at players. Everyone else died trying to get to me to either A Robe or an Upscream (which can seriously fuck up our runs)

Our party of 3 became a party of 2 though by the end of the night. One of our players went to bed and the other rage quit after being sniped by the Huntsman. In the good news though i managed to kill the Huntsman. I plopped his core into the Cart and tucked it away under the Shelf.

Not that it really mattered though as shortly after i got knocked into a pool of lava by my friend (really felt like Anakin there). He ended up following suit since it was the beginning of the level and we were down 2 players. He figured starting over was the best call.

We ended up stopping for the night though after i carried the other two after the clown caught them cuddling and killed them. We didn't want to push it (and it was late) so we called it quits. Not before i got a picture of the two lovebirds cuddling though.
